💅 glab — orbit remote tools 💅

okay bestie, this is the glab manual — the GitLab CLI, the thing that lives in your terminal and just gets you. and today we're looking at one specific lil corner of it. buckle up, it's giving very niche but very powerful. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

glab-orbit-remote-tools — show the GitLab Knowledge Graph MCP tool manifest. (EXPERIMENTAL)

like. yes. that's the whole name. it's a mouthful but she's worth it. 🎀

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

glab orbit remote tools [flags]

that's it. no arguments, no drama, just flags. she's low maintenance. 💖

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so here's the tea. this command hits

GET /api/v4/orbit/tools

and then prints the MCP tool manifest as pretty-printed JSON. pretty. printed. JSON. we love to see it. 🌈

and here's why you should care — the manifest is carrying the authoritative JSON Schema for the query DSL, and it hides it inside the parameters field of the query_graph tool. so like, if you ever wondered "what shape is the query body supposed to be??" — this is literally the source of truth. no cap. the manifest is the answer key. 🔥

⚠️ bestie, real talk: this feature is an experiment and is not ready for production use. it might be unstable or get removed at any time, just like, poof, gone. for more info, go read https://docs.gitlab.com/policy/development_stages_support/ — the vibes are "we're still cooking". 🍓

---

💅 OPTIONS 💅

• --hostname="" — which GitLab hostname to query. if you leave it empty, it defaults to the current repository's host, or gitlab.com if there's nothing to go off of. 🫶
• --jq="" — filter the JSON output with a jq expression. so you can be like "actually i only want this part" and she'll deliver. 👑

---

🎀 OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS 🎀

• -h, --help[=false] — show help for this command. the classic. the icon. the one you press when you're lost (me, always). 😭

---

🌟 EXAMPLE 🌟

$ glab orbit remote tools

one line. zero notes. she ate. 💅
